Last weekend I swapped a b18b into my eg. I used the integra's rad hoses and jammed an inch or two of the civic's hose inbetween it and the fluid inlet/outlet on the civic's radiator. This seems to be working okay but I would feel much better if I had the proper hoses. Are the hoses on the b16 delsol vtec the ones I want?

Did you hear that from me here:

I really do want different hoses for my swap, but I also want to make sure I gave that guy the right info about the delsol's hoses.

the other thing you can do is use your integra hoses and upgrade to a radiator that has 32mm fittings like delsol dohc vtec or a civic dohc vtec radiator.

nah, one of my friends, he put a LS in his EG, but then ppl say use a 94-01 LS lower and a 94 del sol vtec upper, or visa versa

I will be getting a delsol dual core rad eventually. I just want the hoses now to make sure my engine doesn't barf coolant and melt itself.

You can use 94-00 integra radiator hoses but you will need to buy the screw type clamp because the inlet on the radiator is small

for my b swap in my civic i used a 90-93 lower teg hose for the lower and used the old civic lower 1 for the top. i cut it to fit on the rad then i heated it up and jamed it onto the thermo housing. it took a lot of heating and pushing like a ****, but ones it goes on and cools down that mother aint commin off, unless u cut a slit in it

works in a bind for sure

edit - that was with the stock CX rad too

yep b16 vtec hose will work

if youre replaceing rad hoses.. look at http://www.kingmotorsports.com/

samco makes good aftermarket hoses.. so does spoon.. but those are like 200-300$

on my LS swap, i used the LS hoses and the SI DOHC radiator.

On a del sol with gsr engine...

GSR upper hose. It will fit perfectly on the engine side... but on the radiator side, it is just slightly bigger (del sol radiator) than the inlet, so i used a hose clamp on the radiator side.
